I CONSULTED MY EXPERTS
of Internet marketing , what do I do now the title has to be much more then “Exposing Beauty Pageants”

As that is my name , but He told me that that is not a good title to it .Reason is just incase I want to sell this valuable blog some day, it needs to be branded. SO HELP ME FIND A GREAT NAME

The Blog will still cover a lot more then just beauty pagents and beauty crowns, as it will include a lot about beauty talent.
Pagent dresses , and pageant crowns and all around pageants are lots of things that establish how a pagent princess is created, but this blog is much more. As it has a lot of new talents, that we discovered at a very early age, and now we ask the question?
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
Now that they have grown up , some are news announcers on TV stations in
Buffalo, New York ,like Mary Ellis Demler . African American winner of the Americas Darling Pagent , Miss Erika Dunlop, who went on to be Miss America in early 2000. Two lil boys we called 5+3 , that did a music routine to Bon Jovi , and appeared in many places in Orlando Florida , including Jani Langs night club. We just uncovered lost videos of their performances. Also a lady that was very active as the national director of Americas DarlingPageant system, Adalyn forman, and a look at her early baby pageants. Judging is a big part of this industry
Join me as I travel across the country to judge with former Mrs. New Mexico, Dawn Reese to Our Lil Miss in Arizona, discovering young ladies from 3 years old to married wives as Mrs Pageants , and Seniors

A Real Pageant Princess
I can still remember the first day I met my best friend in this industry Dawn Reese was my contact in Florida , after I introduced her the Craig soldinger a major player in the movie and TV business. Orlando Florida where I started my 2nd round of judging pageants my first was in Niagara Falls New York for pageant director of Miss New York Pageant system, BonnieKrull, who’s two daughters held the crown of Miss New York each. and judge Ellie Reuba, and for many years after it. It’s hard to put all the fantastic talent I discovered , over my years ,on one blog, like the daughter of Lauren Chapin of TV show “Father Knows Best the very talented model and singer and songwriter ” Summer Heley Chapin. I just found early footage of her performing a song at age 15 titled
“I’m not your property” So much talent and early discoveries, but the big question”Where are they now ”

This is a way to learn more about the pageant princess of the pageant world. Introducing Dawn Reese
As this pageant-savvy agent tells it, your Hollywood destiny rests in your own hands as well as with other key industry players. Knowing your part in the process can make all the difference. By Dawn Reese .
First, here is one key piece of advice for anyone interested in breaking into show business: Get some good training so that you actually know what you are doing when an opportunity comes along. That’s just one of numerous lessons I teach to the many acts that I have represented. As a former Mrs. New Mexico in the Mrs. America pageant system who works as a talent agent and also has her own radio program based in Miami, Florida, I am a strong advocate of pageant participation as a means of receiving such training.
I believe strongly in the pageant industry, because I would not be where I am today if it was not for teen pageants I had entered. But these days, we can’t just capture a crown and expect stardom to be handed to us. No, there’s still a lot of learning to do, and I’ve had the chance as a magazine reporter covering Hollywood and the entertainment industry to learn from some of the top people in the business. Here, then, broken into a question-and-answer format, are the points I want you to remember as you pursue your dreams of stardom.
What advice have your gotten from the power players you’ve interviewed?
I interviewed Robert Evans, who was head of production at Paramount Pictures for many years and had a string of hits with Rosemary’s Baby (1968), Love Story (1970), The Godfather (1972), and Chinatown (1974), and wondered what advice he had for young film director hopefuls. In a nutshell, he hollered “Action!” Here’s what he said: “Dawn, tell them to get out there, take their digital cameras and start shooting, and submit their work to the film festivals.” Successful people with famous names often don’t mince words. Joe Jackson, who is Michael Jackson’s father, has appeared many times on my show, and he advises young talent to “get out there, be known, and strike.” Do something everyday to get to where you want to be — in other words, always be looking to take another step toward your ultimate goal.
What are some of the key tools to getting ahead?
Initially, it’s all about one thing: Image. One of my mentors used to say, “Image is everything,” and he had a point. A power resume and great pictures of yourself are the building blocks of your image success. Next, make sure you have enough training, with theatrical acting classes being perhaps one of the most important enrollments you can choose. Also, from many years in this business, I can assure you of the importance of networking. I interviewed Ben Gazzara, who is a legend in TV and film and started out in amateur acting at a Boys and Girls Club, where someone discovered him in a play. He spoke of putting in time making phone calls to agents. Being a talent agent, I make a ton of calls every day to get work for my talent, so I know this is a key to success. Start a list of VIPs through your networking efforts, then pick up the phone and dial. People need to know you’re out there.
What about the recording industry? How can I break into that field?
Let’s talk about the record industry, where competition is fierce and getting noticed by someone who can help your career is a long shot. All the talent in the world won’t guarantee success. I had the opportunity to promote a major artist and help book his tour. You may have heard of him — Lil J (otherwise known as Jonathan McDaniel — who played the character of Devon on nine episodes of That’s So Raven). We did a three-week tour with the highlight placed on one song, titled “It’s the Weekend,” which spread a positive message to young people about staying in school. He had a top-selling CD with Hollywood Records. If a promotional angle such as this one can benefit a new artist like Lil J, why not find a similar message for your music that might help get your foot in the door of the tightly guarded record industry. There’s no sense in waiting for things to happen; you need to make them happen!
Don’t you need an agent to get anywhere in the business?
Yes, and one key to your success is to find yourself a good agent. But you’re still going to have to help that person or agency group give you a boost. Here’s one example: I sent my TV-show clips to a top casting director, and gave her a list of agents’ names to contact. The casting director called one of the agents on my list, the agent called me, and, to make a long story short, when I read for the movie role as a reporter, I asked the casting director why she called that one agent. She said, “I only like to work with that one.” Lucky for me, the one she liked was on my list.
Another time, I sent my son’s “blond surfer boy” picture to an agency, but heard nothing back until, six months later, I submitted his photo again and the agent called right away asking to see my son. When I asked her what had made the difference, she said, “Oh, we had too many blond surfer boys at the time.” You see my point? Your involvement counts, and if at first you don’t succeed… well, you know the rest.
How can I be sure that my agent is doing enough for me?
Here’s one way: Keep track of the photos you give to your agent. After a period of time, ask the agency to tell you how many pictures are left in your file. If you gave them 20 to start with and six months later, with hardly any auditions, you discover that 18 photos are left, find yourself another agent. Conversely, it is also up to you to provide the agency with more photos of youself if they are submitting yours often and are about to run out. Jobs and auditions come in every day, and you don’t want your career delayed because your face wasn’t in front of the right person at the right time.
Have you ever asked yourself this question ,where does talent or beauty start and when in in a persons life does it begin to surface?
The answer is at birth, as a mom or dad or the doctor says “whow what a beautiful child you have delivered.” .
When I first decided to take on one of the biggest subjects on, in a blog , It really had to incorporate the three main words that have been my main keywords since my start on the web and I first put on my first web page up. They were Karaoke Pageant and Entertainment, and still today they are my what they call a long tail keywords or phrases.
If you don’t believe me just put in these three keywords in you url line of your computer. Karaoke pageant entertainment , and you will come up with all the work and pages of content that Dawn Reese and Gerald Ralston have been doing over the past years since 1994. I first met Dawn Reese at a America’s Darling pageant where they crowned a pageant princess in a hotel just outside of Walt Disney World in Orlando.
It was at that time when I was given the opportunity to be a judge to find the new talents of yesterday today and tomorrow.
In another blog I will tell you the first experience with the negative side of pageants. Since that pageant where they crown pageant princess.
Now to give you a bit of history on Dawn Reese , when she was just young , she was a batton twiller and pageant winner of many contest , later when on to win Mrs New Mexico in the Mrs America pageant. To give you a brief history about Gerald Ralston , He started singing at age 7 and still now He performs in concerts and assorted events in the pageant industry.
Many call Dawn Reese and Gerald Ralston a praze they use in Batman and Robin as the dynamic Duo.
Together they have judged many assorted pageants from New York to Key West and Arizona to La .
Including such as America’s Darling, National American Miss, Miss Caricom in New York City, at the world famous Apollo Theater , where they were joined by Miss Latina New york , Kathy Garcia .
In Orlando at a National American Miss contest , it was there that they discovered Caitlyn Taylor Love , soon to be the Pat Benatar of 2009 as predicted by many top executives of today in the entertainment industry .
Today is 2009 and as we enter a new part of 2000 , many stars of yesterday come to mind
Like a video I saw on http://www.youtube.com of Christian Augularia at age 7 and age 11 , who went on to become a regular on Disney and Superstar Concert fame.
Now it seems like there are new superstars raising out of the ashes of yesteryears and actually gaining a fame like the Beatles and Monkeys of the 70’s , using tv and music as the launching pads .Today they have many new tools like web 2.0 social media to do self promotion , as the western world starts to follow the trend of younger and young acts , to provide a good role model for today and tomorrows youth. The days of drugs , Smoking and underage drinking are soon to be a thing of the past , as the age drops in talent that is taking over the airwaves , with such music of The Jonas Brothers , who were just recently a guest of President Obama and his family at the White House Celebration . As I was checking out what is next in the female market of entertainment , I was alerted to what was titled G.L.A.M , 4 girls that seem to be the new talent to today youth , following the Asian market of talent of a younger age. The group consist of 4 girls with names like Go Go,Lyric,Angel,and Mija. Just like in the days of the Monkees musical group, there is a market called merchandising , which is now even bigger due to a whole new concept called digital products such as wallpapers, screensavers, virtual merchandise, physical merchandise, illustrations, ring-tones, ring-back tones, master tones, voice tones, and digital downloads of songs will be available for sale. I will give you more details in future blogs , as I get the info from the industry with call karaoke pageant entertainment.
